How do you feel about New Year?

oldman said:
I am also ready for the holidays to be over, even though watching the Grandchildren have their fun is a good time for them. I just want to move on and get into Spring. Some people call that 'wishing your life away', but the holidays hurt (emotionally) really bad and I can do without them.

I totally empathize.. I dislike the holidays also.. too many memories of happier times.. As for the Grandkids.. yeah.. they were thrilled with all the presents I bought them... and now they have forgotten all about it... and me for that matter.. I'm good for something at least. So.. Hubby and I are going to a movie today, and then to the Market to buy a big fat Fish to bake for dinner (back to healthy eating) and if it wasn't so miserabley cold, I would take my dog Izzy for a walk..
 

I find the new year a bit depressing. Weather is usually a bit miserable, can't get doing much work outside etc.... I'm much happier when the evenings get lighter, the campsite open and we can get away in the camper and get the new season's plants sown in the garden.

I imagine that at your latitude it will be a while before the lengthening days start to count for much. How can planting in the garden be anything more than a distant dream?

Well, I'm disabled so not so much and no two stories since I can't climb stairs but I do like it! It's a nice house that just needs some tlc. I also have to buy in my village, condition of the mortgage from local bank that's been here 90 years, one reason I'm eager to take advantage. I've just fallen in love with the place and want a house here anyway. In my price range, there's probably going to be some fixing upping to do that I will have to hire someone to do. If only the Property Brothers didn't have a condition of having a $65,000 reno budget.

What the heck, ok, so that Gold Screw reminds me of the one about the little boy that felt so different because he had a golden screw for a naval. He whined and cried to his folks until they told him there was a good witch that lived up the hill, and he could go to her to see if she could help. So he began his hike, met up with the nice witch, and she said she was most willing to help him. She said a few of the "same ole" abra cadaberas, and poof, he saw the golden screw had vanished, being replaced by a naval like the other guys had.

He was overjoyed, thanked her, ran out the door and down the hill to show everyone, and, his butt fell off:( Well, I guess the moral of the story is just be glad with who you are, and body parts God gave us.

Thanks you Denise, I LOL the first time I saw that photo, but it definately is how I felt and feel about the fun I had bringing in the new year.

Best of the new year to you too. I'm hoping to aim for a more positive perspective going into this year, I know it won't always be easy, sometimes not even likely at times, but, I'm sick of all the negativity i've allowed into my life and put upon some others in the previous year. I'm going to work much harder this year, though I know some are going to make that difficult, but, it's still my choice in the end.

I really appreciate the well wishes, big hug to you. :bighug:

Weird you would mention negativity. I blame that on my sis often, she's down or laughing hysterically. But I realize that negative thinking is something I spend too much time on as well. I don't know why I always seem to think she's mad or negative about me (well, sometimes it's true I'm sure, lol) but I try to think it's nothing to do with me. If it is, she's the one that needs to tell me, not me trying to pry out of her like a psychiatrist, lol:) So ignoring is my new tool for the New Year, and fave line "it's not my biz". Someone best pray for me, lol;)
